Linda Robson broke down in tears over her best friend Pauline Quirke’s dementia battle.
The Birds of a Feather co-stars have been close since they were ten years old.
Linda, 66, was comforted on Loose Women today as the panel discussed their memories of the actress after her shock diagnosis was revealed.
It’s after Pauline‘s husband Steve Sheen last week revealed she would be stepping back from her 50-year career after living with the syndrome since 2021.
In a statement he said: “It is with a heavy heart that I announce my wife Pauline’s decision to step back from all professional and commercial duties due to her diagnosis of Dementia in 2021.
“Pauline has been an inspiration through her work in the film and TV industry, her charity endeavours and as the founder of the very successful Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts (PQA).
“Her talent, dedication, and vision have touched countless lives and will continue to do so through the legacy of her work and through PQA where her vision and guidance has facilitated many young peoples’ progression and interest in the Arts and enhanced their self-confidence.”
